{ } How to use
- Paste JSON and enter a JSONPath (e.g. $.store.book[0].title, $..name, $.items[*]).
- Select Process to see matches. Switch the output to Tree to click keys and copy their paths.
{ } How it works
JSON Path Finder works on the text you provide. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Inputs
- JSON input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
- JSONPath — a value (default: "$.skills[*]")
Output
JSON — copy it, download it, or switch the Output panel to Tree view to explore it.
{ } Common uses
- Pull one field out of a large API response without reading the whole thing.
- Collect the same field from every object in an array.
- Find every occurrence of a key wherever it appears, at any depth.
{ } Limitations
- This is a deliberate subset of JSONPath: root, child, index (negatives included), wildcard and recursive descent. Filter expressions like [?(@.price<10)], slices like [1:3] and unions like [0,2] are not supported, and are reported as an unsupported bracket expression.
- The result is always a JSON array, even when exactly one value matched, so a single match comes back wrapped in brackets.
- A path that matches nothing is not an error — you get an empty array, which looks identical to the result of a path with a typo in it.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Which JSONPath syntax is supported?
Root $, child .name and ["name"], index [n] (and negatives), wildcard [*] / .*, and recursive descent ..name.
